Elena’s research focus is on web technologies and tools for improving collaboration between key players of disaster management, including citizens, media representatives, and volunteers, to foster a better disaster resilience. Since her background is on sociology and web communication, the overall approach to the research combines information processes analysis, scientific knowledge sharing and organizational issues, including skills and competences to be involved, for a better use of web technologies and tools.

We warmly welcome Elena to the GIScience group and look forward to a productive and fruitful collaboration!
